THE BIG DERBY.

The 'Flittle Derby" is no longer little. It is very big, and if we may believe some of those who profess to understand it's real val ue, New Haven has nothing less than a gold mine in it, which only needs to be properly worked to "pan out" in g most nu- nifcent way. If what these professors say is true the poor people of New Haven have no excuse for being attracted by Henry Georges land theories, or, indeed, any theo- ry which includes taking from him that hath and giving to him that hath not. For they have only to wait until the Derby is sold, and their share of the proceeds will be such that talk about the unequal distribution of wealth will attract them no more.
 The fact is, as it seems to us, that the val ue of the Derby is being greatly exaggerated in these days, and that this exaggeration will tend to confuse the public mind and may cause the refusal of better offers than can be obtained again. The time ts sell is when ''the boom" is on, as many man who has waited too long has discovered. Of course the city should get the best o5taina ble price for it's interest, but it should not be forgotten that by very easy turn of the railroad kaleidoscope the beauty and desira- bility of the Derby may be very seriously marred. New Haven should not talk so long that the timo when sale can be advantage ously made will pass by. Remember the old State House. Also remember what the Spaniards say-When the heavens rain gold see that the skirts of thy garment be spread.

The rIice-Sktn Market.

From the LeWlSCOn JOuFHdi1
 The story goes that the fur runner has one section of Maine in which his appearance on a fur buying trip is an event. About every body sells to him and he hasn't made many mistakes in his buying. He cultivates this section. He saves his best jokes and his funniest stories for this locality. Hence his grip is good and he don't want to lose it.
 It was after successful expedition into this section recently that the fur-runner fell a-talking. Now there is danger when a man falls a-talking, and on this day in question the peltry king told yarns and talked about furs and how money could be made and lost in them. Said he to the listeners, "Why don't you save up some raice skins? The market is big on mice. They are worth, femme see-they are worth about ten dollars hundred" and then he smiled complacently as man spoke up and said, ''B' gosh, is that facts Well now you bet we cod get bushel on lem in week if we was mind to-" It was only just sort of joke and he went away forgetting to re- move the impression.
 Several months passed and he went back again, bargaining and buying. He had traded for good many furs, when in the course of the trade the seller said, "The DOyS mas got lOlS OI IulCo ohAns 1oi yOu. The buyer looked wonderingly, and then uE out of the past came the vision of his previ ous iniquity. ''They have, have they?" re- piled he. 'FWel, don't know exactly. Die i say I'd take emf' ''That's what you said was the reply. ''Ten dollars hundred and the boys has about two hundred of lem" It was sad fact. The industrious boys had fully that number of mice skins stretched on boards. The buyer had to invent some thing, and so he said that the market had dropped off over three quarters since he was here before, and be ended by settling with the boys for five dollar bill. It would ney. CT have done to have declined them, for that might have spoiled the trade on more sizea ble and more marketable pelts in that vicini' ty forever.

THE NEW SOUTH.

General S. G. Griffin of Keene, New Hampshire, showed in an address delivered on Decoration day what change has taken place in the South lately. He put the facts in a striking way.
 Within the last ten years 12, 900 miles of railroad have been built and more than $500, 900, 900 has been expended on railroads in the southern States. The assessed valua- ton of property there has increased during that time about s1,5oO,oO ,OO0. There is $200, ,000, 900 more capital invested in the South in cattle alone than there was ten years ago, The cotton mills have doubled in number and capacity in the last four years, and cottonseed mills have quadrupled in the same time. The iron mines of north ern Alabama, which ten years ago might have been bought for $50,0o0, today could not be bought for s50,OO0,000. The city of Birmingham, Alabama, to which the atten- ton of the public is now being generally di- rected, has grown up within that time. To show how the South is gaining in this re- spect upon the rest of the country, it is stated that from 1880 to 1884 Virginia, Ala bama and Tennessee increased the product of pig iron 30o,0 900 tons, while in all | the rest of the United States the product di- unfinished 5000 tons. To aid in all this there has gone down into the South more than $2OO, 1000, ,0O0 of northern capital. These are tremendous changes. The new South is a very different region from the old South

Earthquake Experiences.

I wish to say word or two more concern
 ing that sense of something like personal fe-
 rocity in the power which had laid hold of
 us, which have confessed to receiving from the first and longest of the earthquake
 shocks. It afterwards appeared that every
 body who was coel enough closely to observe
 his sensations had experienced much the
 same thing. One Englishman, who arrived
 few days later from stricken Mentone, and
 who seemed to cherish fresh and tender rec:
 olleetions of his school days, compared his
 feelings to those of boy whom his master
 seizes and shakes violently by way of pre-
 Jude to a logging. To another occurred the
 kindred image of the terrier and the rat. A
 third, of more pastoral proclivities, thought of a slender tree grasped by the mighty hand of one who would shake off all it's fruit. One and all had the sensation of being laid hold of by some ruthless and monstrous ln- dividuality-much like the feeling, I should say, which the insect much have which sees the giant foot descending that is to crush out it's little spark of conscious life. Of this first unreasoning and excessively heathenish impression never was quite able to rid my self. :'Deliyer us," could have said, on the authority of the Revised Version, "from the evil one who has done this thing" All through the next three or four days-days of the most serene and surpassing 1oveliness, when we used to go out upon the dry hill side and lie down for little while under the olives, in the hope of catching few mo ! ments of thoroughly sweet and untormented slurn ber-I had ever the notion that it was lying under me, with vast limbs gradually relaxing from their awful spasm, and could have sworn at times that my messy. couch trembled little, as with the long quiver of a subsiding sigh. It made no difference how high we climbed. Up even to the al most Alpine heights above the olive, where one could take in the whole sweep ot that enchanting littoral, from the Esterel to far below Cape San Ampeglio, the same strange fancy pursued us-that of an immense, un- knowable and malignant power which had made all those miles and miles ot sweeping land to futter like the fold of banner: l remembered the earthquake which visited Elijah in the desert, in which 1t is distinctly asserted the Lord was not, and l wondered if the next religion preached in the parlors of Boston would be Manichean. and if
 shouId be its prophet. The rumor reached
 ms a few days later that Etna was in active
 eruption, and the news was thought reassur-
 ing. It led us at all events to speak of our
 monster henceforth by the name of Encela-
 dus, and to feel a new sympathy with the
 pagan Greek.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The heavy fire losses in New Hampshire are disturbing the local insurance companies. One of them which paid ten per cent. divi- dend last January and seemed very prosper ous has been compelled to wind up.
 Beer is rapidly making itself liked in this country. During the last brewers year 23, 541 ,425 barrels of beer were brewed in the United States, and in the previous twelve months the production was 20, 319, ,555, show ing an increase of 3, ,221 ,s70 barrels.
 There are inventors in this country, but they will bow to the story of an old German who has invented safe that on it's lock being tempered with throws open it's doors, seizes and drags and locks in the burglar, and hand cuffs and holds him in readiness to be con- ducted to the police court in the morning.
 Drunkenness has terribly increased recent ly in Switzerland, and the Swiss people have concluded that in no other way can they go effectively diminish the quantity of liquor consumed and at the same time secure the purity of what is consumed as by placing it's manufacture and sale solely in the hands of the government.
 Those who ride on bicycles and tricycles will be quite ready to believe the story that John Ruskin is insane, when they read what he says about their vehicles, as follows: not only object, but am quite prepared to spend all my best "bad language" in repro batien of bi-tri-and 5 6 or 7-cycles, and every other contrivance and invention for superseding human feet on Gods ground. To walk, to run to leap and to dance are the virtues of the human body, and neither to stride on stilts, wriggle on wheels or dan- gle on ropes, and nothing in the training of the human mind with the body will ever su- persede the appointed Gods ways of slow 1 walking and hard working.
 It is hard to discourage some men. Herr Fortelka, lieutenant in the Austrian army, 1 during the first campaign in Bosnia received bullet in his right eye and speedily became 1 totally blind. Since his blindness he has invented, in addition to 8 magazine rife, a new micrometer, an apparatus for automatic mapping, new sort of gunpowder, two ma chimes for the authorization of metals at 8 small cost, and number of smaller devices.
 "When either great or minute measurements are in question" says Herr Fortelka, "those who see with their eyes are often wrong,
 while I, who see with my fingers, am right
 The models of his inventions have been en
 tirely made by himself with the help of pieces of wood, string and wire.

falling between carriages and platforms and the like; but, excluding servants of the com panies, the total number of deaths from causes incident to railroad travelling was only tride over 500, and of injuries only about ,500. Considering that these num- bers include a great many from casualties due to neglect of well-known precautions, we may conclude, says the Lancet, that, as regards passengers and the public, railroad travelling is the safest mode of 1ocomotion.
 The "Labor temple" which is to be built in Minneapolis will be the first building of the kind in this country. It is built on the cooperative plan which has proved so suc- cessful in the hands of the Minneapolis work ingmen, the capital stock of $100,00 being held in very small shares by the Knights of Labor and members of the trade unions. The building is expected to be done in time for the national convention of the Knights of Labor at Minneapolis in the fall. The first two floors are for stores and offices and the third for lodge rooms for labor societies, and these have been taken in advance at a rental of $7, ,O0O year. The fourth floor will have @ convention hall to seat 2,000 people, and the building will also shelter free library association that has been established for the families of workingmen.
